eve / veve / Cameron, Charles., 2013

 Item
Identifier: CC-58069-10001316
Scope and Contents

In a personal communication to the Sackners, Cameron states that is a sort of love mandala for the eve mentioned in several of the dsh poems you have, typed originally with red & black ribbons and blue and black carbons on an Olivetti 22 in 1964, photocopied years later, transferred to an internet paint program, and not yet by any means restored to its original beauty. I'm including it to give you an idea of where I would start from, in an attempt to derive new variants on this work using the best of contemporary graphical tools. Compared to the original -- which may be hiding somewhere in my storage unit -- it is very very far from the beautiful poem I originally produced, or from whatever satisfactory variants I may yet provide. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Gu ardian Obituary for Audrey Barker: Audrey Barker, who has died aged 69, was an inspiration to the development of the young as artists, especially through her work and thoughts about people with disabilities. She was born in West Ham, in London's docklands, and during the second world war was evacuated to a farm where she contracted tuberculosis from untreated milk.
